Description rom 2009-11-29 10:04:28 UTC 
In several folders (often when containing video, but not always), nautilus shows only 3 or 4 files (even if there are 30), and the mouse cursor is busy.

I have to "nautilus -q" to resolve the problem.

It happens quite often, always on the same folders. It is not only on my computer, my girlfriend has the same problem, and a colleague talk me about that (he didn't know I had the problem too).

It happens in Ubuntu Karmic, but not in previous version (Jaunty).

(I think it can be a thumbnail generation thumbnail)

Ah, I have a tip for reproducing this bug every time.

- Choose a folder where there are many documents which needs a thumbnail generation.
- Execute : rm -rf ~/.thumbnails
- In nautilus (in the chosen folder), press F5 (for regenerating thumbnails)
- Before the thumbnails are generated, press F5 again and again : many files have disappeared
- Reexecute rm -rf ~/.thumbnails for resolving the problem again (then F5).
